     I think you have the bigworld-maps...
that is a mapset upder development, probably you dont want it, just get
the normal 'maps'

     Some random stuff:

Crossfire works fine on a Pentium 233MMX with 256 MB Ram
Required diskspace, atleast 250MB
Average ram usage, 30-40MB

Never run the server as root, create a special user for it.

change the message of the day in the MOTD file (share/crossfire/motd)
change the dungeon masters in share/crossfire/dm_file
change the announcement settings for the metaserver in
share/crossfire/settings

if you install it to a different location, use the --prefix option with
configure, example: ./configure --prefix=/home/crossfire

help with dm commands: become a dm, and type: help commands

run crossfire with crossloop, so it will restart after crashing

make daily backups of the var/crossfire directory, things might break
